Natalie Judson, whom he has never met, is young and pretty and highly interested in society. A wealthy old man, related distantly to both of them, dies, leaving a will that gives his fortune to these young people on condition that they marry. The condition is not to their liking, but, through a mutual girlfriend, they are brought together and finally persuaded to marry. After marriage each continues life independent of the other. But as time passes, a feeling akin to love springs up between them. However, both are stubborn and self-willed. Ren De Land is a friend of Natalie's. Natalie receives attention from him; this is the first thing that stirs Garriot to action. However, the girlfriend scents the trouble and proceeds to pay attention to Garriot with the hope of stirring Natalie's jealousy. After a series of dramatic, and at times amusing, incidents, she succeeds. Natalie finally decides that she has no mind for losing her husband when her friend tells her to take him or she will. The young couple awaken to a realization of love only to have it shattered and a tragedy threaten through a minor incident. How this is finally corrected, the thrilling climax aboard a private yacht wherein Garriot teaches Ren De Land that it is best to leave other men's wives alone, completes the play.
